Note If you use label sheets for laser printers, the glue from the sheets may sometimes stick to the OPC drum surface. Clean the drum unit. See the previous page. Do not use paper that has clips or staples because they will scratch the surface of the drum. If the unpacked drum unit is subject to excessive direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged. Make sure you use paper that meets the specifications. Rough surfaced paper or thick media can cause the problem. See What kind of paper can I use in Chapter 1. Make sure you select the appropriate media type in the printer driver. The problem may disappear by itself. Try printing multiple pages to clear this problem especially if the printer has not been used for a long time. The Toner cartridge may be damaged. Install a new Toner cartridge. See "Replacing the Toner cartridge" in Chapter 5. The drum unit may be damaged. Install a new Drum unit. See "Replacing the Drum unit" in Chapter 5.

Moisture content

Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually paper contains around 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristic of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend the humidity of the surrounding environment is between 50 % and 60%.

HP LaserJet mode

This printer uses the HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) that emulates the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet laser printer. Since many application software packages support the HP LaserJet printer, your printer will operate at its optimum performance in this mode.

BR-Script 3 mode

BR-Script is an original page description language and is a PostScript language emulation interpreter. This printer supports level 3. This BR-Script interpreter enables full and satisfactory control of text and graphics on the pages. Average users will not need extensive knowledge of the PostScript language. However, if you want to obtain technical information about PostScript commands, see the following commercial manuals:

Appendix11

EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL mode
The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL modes are the emulation modes this printer uses to emulate the industry-standard dot matrix printers of their respective manufacturer. Since most applications support these printers, you do not have to be concerned about compatibility.

Appendix12

Resident fonts
75 Scalable and 12 Bitmapped fonts
This printer has the following scalable fonts and bitmapped fonts. The fonts that can be used will vary according to the current emulation mode.

The colours of the wiring in the power lead of this printer may not correspond with the markings which identify the terminals in your plug. If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows. Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the coloured insulation of the wires inside. Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug permits, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event that the cord is pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect. Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

Appendix30

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black or blue. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red or brown. The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The coloured wires should not hang out of the plug.
